Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How to store hydraulic cylinders?
A. Hydraulic cylinders must be stored at a constant temperature and under dry conditions. They should not be impacted by aggressive agents, such as steam or any kind of corrosives. During storage, cylinder oil ports should be sealed with suitable plastic or metal plugs.
Q. What is the difference between a single and double acting cylinder?
A. Double acting cylinders have a port at each end which is supplied with hydraulic fluid or oil for both the retraction and extension functions of the piston. Whereas, in the single acting cylinders, hydraulic fluid enters through a port at one end of the cylinder that extends the rod without the need of oil.
Q. Is Enerpac RC101 general-purpose hydraulic cylinder rust-free?
A. Yes, it features baked enamel finish that provides enhanced corrosion resistance.
Q. What accessories come included with Enerpac RC101 general-purpose hydraulic cylinder?
A. This cylinder comes included with a CR400 coupler, dust cap and collar thread protector.
Q. What are the maintenance steps for Enerpac RC101 general-purpose hydraulic cylinder?
A.
To ensure optimal performance and longevity, follow these maintenance steps:- Regularly clean the cylinder to remove dirt, debris or contaminants that may affect its functionality.
- Conduct inspections to identify any signs of leakage, damage, or abnormal wear on the plunger, seals, or other components of the cylinder.
- Apply lubrication to the moving parts of the cylinder according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
- Inspect the connections and fittings to ensure they are tightened properly and free from damage or wear.
Q. Which fluid is used in this Enerpac RC101 hydraulic cylinders?
A. Hydraulic fluid is a crucial component used in hydraulic machinery and equipment to transmit power. It functions as a non-compressible oil or liquid medium that facilitates the transfer of force from one point to another within the hydraulic system. While various substances can serve as hydraulic fluids, the most common types are mineral-based, petroleum-based, water-based, or synthetic materials. These hydraulic fluids play a vital role in ensuring the efficient and smooth operation of hydraulic systems across different industries and applications.
